\"Ewam<\/a>
Ewam Garden of 1000 Buddhas (Winter 2012 : Justin Whitaker)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Lucky Severson and a PBS video crew recently made a visit to Ewam\u2019s Garden of 1000 Buddhas<\/a>, just north of Arlee, itself about 20 minutes north of Missoula, Montana. The area isn\u2019t what you\u2019d think of as a perfect site for a Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist<\/a> site, but that is exactly what has been developed and flourished on the land.<\/p>\n

In the process, they have discovered deep roots with the Native Americans living there: including principles of non-violent resistance and a belief that all natural things have spirits dwelling within them. Now they share an annual peace festival (held each September, see their site for details), open to all.<\/p>\n
